11 Thrift Stores on one day - PHEW!

My friend and I began our weekly trip to the Goodwill bright and early on July 14th. This time we were going to be going by Value Villages also. On our recent exploration for cake stands for my daughter who was making her friend's wedding cake, we stopped by a few Value Village and was pleasantly surprised when they have certain tags for $.99 on Monday. Also Value Village was having a promotion - with a stamp card. If you spent $75 and received your stamps you could turn it in for 30% off your sale. In addition, if you donated items to Value Village you will receive a coupon for $3.00 off $10.00 you spend. This is why my friend and I decided to attempt to cram as many thrift stores on this trip. On this day we were going to check out the Capital Hill Value Village and Goodwill stores (hadn't been to these before). I was pleasantly surprised at the Capitol Hill stores, both were a welcome site. Let's us begin our crazy day. 

I am trying something new - I have listed the items in red that I will personally be using. The items in black will be consignment items. Let me know if this is helpful to you in the comment section.
